From a similarly aged dinosaur - that's a damn nice looking vehicle! Hope it does well for you and your family...

Yes - thanks for posting the pictures... I was going to go but didn't want to if I could not sit in the vehicle - looks like avoiding the 4.5 hour drive might have been the right call...

They are used in many of the OEM vehicles and supply millions of axles per year... GM and Ford have rated them with their highest quality awards and Jeep also rated them as a best supplier.

This seems like good news to me! And they're just down the road...

This is the color of the 1980 Scout II diesel that I had - it will be the color that I order... I like the off road concept but not sure of the additional cost... If it's within my means I may pull that trigger...

Has anyone heard of where else we can see the concept vehicles? Trying to decide if I really want to drive 4 1/2 hours... wondering if I'd even be able to sit in it etc.

I concede... I also admit that the only frunk I ever had was in a Volvo XC40 Recharge (wife's car) - it was pretty small and I don't think it had the drain hole and other features you all have mentioned... I have also never had a gear tunnel. I think I started this post from a more selfish...

great progress!

I hope so!

I'm perplexed by all that you mention as well... I have seen some compact RV ICE/generator solutions but nothing that would deliver the KWH required by this truck...

OK - didn't know that the frunk was so important to folks... I didn't mention a parallel hybrid system - that would make me cancel my reservation. Series hybrid is the way to go. (I was just advocating for the ICE to be moved from under the truck to under the hood and keeping the battery...

I just started this thread that could address what you're writing about: https://www.scoutevforum.com/forum/threads/time-to-give-up-the-frunk-if-you-want-the-harvester-engine.13109/#post-180363

I'm a retired engineer - all the best engineers I saw through my career were the ones that could consider a new idea that conflicted with their current design, pivot, and redesign to make a better product (especially prior to production!) That being said, Scout needs to embrace change once...

You guys are right - I misread that... Seems odd that the county would own it, but that's probably a way for them to reap profit from allowing it to be built etc.

I wonder if this stuff is typical of large construction projects... Although I don't remember reading anything like this during the Tesla - Texas project which was equally large...

Seems like that would have been a great idea!

I'm guessing it's gonna be a naturally aspirated version of the EA211... They had a NA version of the EA111 and that motor was replaced in 2013/2014 with the 211...

I think that's an optimistic date, but I'm in!

I'm just glad to get any news at this point... :)

I think I'd prefer the Ramcharger to the Rev; who knows if Scout doesn't pan out maybe I look at one ...
